“Never Let a Crisis Go to Waste”.
I had a .22, a bow and arrow, knives and scary fishing hooks in the trunk of my car as a teen.
Everyone I knew did, too!
And not once in all of my HS years did any kid DARE to harm another living being with a handy, accessible weapon. That was considered, ‘cheating’ and you didn’t do that!
If you had a disagreement, it was fisticuffs for the boys, hair pulling and nail scratching for the girls.
Ah. Simpler Times!
I see our problems as easily summed up:
* No God in School or the Public Square
* No FATHERS in the home
* The total devaluation of LIFE (abortion) and especially that of young men in crime-ridden areas
* Hands tied by Liberal laws that stop parents, teachers and social workers from getting young men the help they need
However, I have no idea as to changing ANY of these factors. :(
Thank you for posting this article and introducing me to the American Greatness site. I wouldn’t have known about it otherwise as I don’t often search back a full day to read threads.
Same with the Red Flag order. Does anybody seriously think someone who is willing to mass murder a bunch of innocent people is going to slowed down...in...the...least by a piece of paper saying they can't possess or obtain a gun??
But Chicago deaths exceeds all of these massacres just about every weekend.
“Red Flag Laws Won’t Prevent Another Massacre”
Nonsense.
They’ll prevent many.
But at great cost to liberty. Personally, I think the cost is too high.
But these laws will work to reduce mass shootings, maybe a bomb or two etc.
In fact, MANY people on FR have been lamenting for years that everyone around these crazy bastards KNEW they were going to blow, but nothing could be done.
Society must have a threshold and a process for controlling the actions of crazy people. Taking away their guns is the first step in bringing them under control and allowing time to determine the level of threat.
Unfortunately, we KNOW these laws will be abused.
But, they will work.
Just Massacres of Gun Owners by the Government
They are not meant too. its not their purpose
Well said Mr. Gorka, well said.
Doesn’t matter. The cry for someone to do “something” will be obeyed.
Red Flag = Registered Democrat
Proof that Democrats are mentally ill.
Doctors are trained to ask patients questions as part of a mini mental status test.
The most common question asked, “Who is president of the United States?”
Democrats never answer that one, but merely respond “ Trumps not my president!”
“Red Flag” laws will do nothing to prevent mass murderers and is nothing but collective punishment of Americans.
Or Jeffrey Epstein.
Red Flag Laws are not enacted, designed , or desired to prevent another “Massacre”. They are a stopping stone to the end goal of disarming the American Public. They are enacted so the politicians can go to the public and say,”these laws are not working. We have to pass stricter ones”.
I think we’ve seen enough of these shooters on police radar because someone saw something and said something and yet little was done. Either there has to be accountability or, if they lack support in the law to investigate, they need help in that area while due process is still protected.
No. We all know that, but the idiot politicians hope it will give them cover through the next election. How many times have you heard that some criminal was "on a watch list", yet perpetrated a heinous crime?
It's almost as worthless as "Suicide Watch" in NYC.
But gun free zones will stop mass killings....oh wait, how stupid of me.
